And keep in mind that there is an apples-to-apples comparison readily available, since antisemitism on the right is continuously handwaved, written off as the excesses of individuals, and simply shrugged off when the most powerful people on the right directly interact with, sympathize with, and borrow ideas from people obsessed with antisemitic conspiracies.

It had to get as bad as Trump before it become a subject of discussion, and there’s still attempts to claim some kind of semantic distance from “authentic” conservatism to the “Soros” accusations, Alex Jones conspiracies lifted straight from the Protocols, the tiki-torch Nazis, etc.

Billy Graham just died and it was considered impolite to talk about his statements about Jews, even as his trogo shitwit son has embraced modern remixes of the “shifty international Jew.”
